Pregame notes
The Washington Mystics will face the New York Liberty for a Friday evening game with possible seeding implications on the line. The Indiana Fever just snapped a 5-game home-winning streak of the Mystics, highlighting the short-handed squad Washington has at the moment.
The game will very likely be a tough one, as the Mystics are missing several key players due to injuries and the Liberty is a much better team than the Fever. Though the Mystics won their regular season opener against New York and almost beat them a second time, that was when health wasn’t the issue they have now.
Here the highlights from Washington’s and New York’s aforementioned previous match-up that ended in a thrilling OT loss:
